“Stella! I missed you so much!”

“Um, pardon me, but… do I know you?”

“Oh my Watcher! I completely forgot to tell you when we arranged the visit, didn’t I?”

“… Burple?”

“Well, that’s what they called me, hm?”

“I think I get it now! Like a disguise, right?”

“No, not really. I’m a woman. Back on Sixam, I didn’t even know it was possible for me to be myself like this, but here it’s so incredible! I go by Bethany now, and getting away from the public eye is just a benefit! You know, I always felt like I was just acting a part on a show my whole life, but I thought that was just the screen-time talking. Now look at me, I feel like I’m living a real life!”

“That’s amazing, Bur-I mean, Bethany. Sorry.”

“Don’t sweat it, hon.”
